My family loves McDonald's Shamrock Shakes, but we can't seem to find any locations that serve them any longer, so I decided I would try to make my own. If you search on Pinterest you will find several copy cat recipes, some with Greek yogurt, some with heavy cream, some with plain or vanilla yogurt and even some with ice cream - both adult version and kid friendly. Most ingredients include peppermint, but when I think back to the last Shamrock Shake I had, it wasn't pepperminty {yes, that is a word *wink*} it was more minty! So I made mine with mint!

Affiliate links are included in this post, which means if you make a purchase using one of the links, I will earn a small commission, but it will not cost you one penny! But it does help to keep my website running. Thank you! The following is based strictly on my honest opinion. I only recommend products and brands I love and use personally. 

Shamrock ☘️ Shake Recipe

Ingredients:

2 scoops of ice cream per person

1/2 cup milk per 2 scoops ice cream

1/2 teaspoon Mint extract 

2 drops green food coloring 

Green decorating gel

Sprinkles

Whipped cream

Directions:

1. Add ice cream, milk, mint extract and food coloring to blender and blend well

2. Rim glass with Green decorating gel and add sprinkles to the rim

3. Pour mixture into glass, top with whipped cream and add a fun straw!

These may be green for the St. Patrick's Day holiday, but you can now make them whenever you want! The best part? You can enjoy these all year long!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️

I can't resist putting a bar cart together for St. Patrick's Day! I have always celebrated St. Patrick's Day, but since I married an Irishman, it is full on Irish in our house on this fun holiday!

Follow my tips for creating one of your own.

 

1) Dress your bar cart with green and gold accessories. Hang a foil tassel banner on the front of your bar cart, it makes for effortless décor.

 

 

2) Adding fun décor, such as glitter shamrocks, plastic pipes and gold coins is easy to pick up from a local craft store.

 



3) Don't forget the bar cart essentials, such as different sized glasses, gold stripped straws, ice bucket, stirrers and napkins.

 

4) I love adding a Shamrock plant, known as Oxalis Regnellii and it is a great inexpensive décor item for your bar cart. 

 

5) As a wife of a true Irishman, I always have several Irish liquors on hand. You don't need all of these, just make sure you have at least one on hand and if you are serving little ones, pick up some green soda for them!

 

 6) This fun mini leprechaun hat is stuffed with Hershey gold nuggets is super easy to make, you can find the tutorial here. 

 

7) Don't be afraid to pull out the spray paint like I did, for this plastic St. Patrick's Day hat. I simply sprayed it gold and it easily brightened my décor. I added shamrock ribbon around the bottom as a little pop! You can find a mini pots of gold and other fun décor at your local craft store. 

 

8) Pull it all together and this is what it will look like!

 

 

I hope my St. Patrick's Day Bar Cart idea gets you in the spirit to celebrate this fun holiday!

Affiliate links are included in this post, which means if you make a purchase using one of the links, I will earn a small commission, but it will not cost you one penny! But it does help to keep my website running. Thank you!

How fun would these beer mugs be chilled for your St. Patty's party?

This Irish Cottage candle smells SO GOOD!!! 

 I love fun trinket plates like this clover one!

This clover ceramic dish is perfect for little treats or as a dessert plate on your tablescape. I love the gold on the bottom. 

Who doesn't love fun throw pillows like this clover leaf pillow? I also love the pom pom details on the edges!

You always need treat cups to hold your chocolate coins or shamrock candies and these would be perfect for your party! 

These pretty napkins set on your St. Patrick's Day table will bring everything together nicely!
